yes you can keep the bottom true or false if soldiers in the trenches were caught in a poisonous gas attack they used to wee on their handkerchief and put it over their nose and mouth it's true the chemicals in the urine kept out the poisonous gas life really was horrible in the trenches for the germans as well it's ready steady feast joining us today is a german soldier who comes directly from the trenches of the first world war please welcome obama thanks for coming paul i see you brought a bag of food with you well yes and no this is a sats food or fake food it's what we have to eat in the trenches now we have run out of real food okay well why don't you show us what you've got for sure so my first ingredient is assats pepper pepper no a set pepper we run out of real pepper this is just ashes from the fire but we are glad of it it takes away the taste of the bread what's wrong with the bread ah it is made of beans and sawdust girl and this is assats coffee this we make by mixing uh the nuts with coal tar and sugar that sounds terrible well it is not so bad actually uh then we run out of nuts on sugar so we had to mix coal tar with the turnips that is horrible yeah well you think that's horrible you should try assats meat this we make from spinach potatoes and ursats eggs potatoes so basically it's potatoes with potatoes that doesn't sound that bad oh no well uh we fry it up using the fat made from boiled down rats disgusting well maybe i'll have more luck with my other guests from the first world war please welcome mick wall he was a milkman in 1917 london mick what have you got for us well i've just brought in some milk watered down to make it go further uh it's illegal but uh i thought it was a good idea with all the shortages nothing wrong with that ask him for he found the water where did you get the water from oh i'd rather not say really but if you do find any brown bits floating in there just fish them out oh look sausages i'll make it taste nicer yeah for sure grub is up oh shut up honestly that's all true 100 accurate even the bit about making cooking fat from boiling down rats do you know what i think i'm gonna get out of here most difficult decision most difficult oh dear sir yes no tail coffee you're right sir that is difficult that's not the decision you fool isn't it sir no we face a much more difficult decision than that gentlemen we are facing a great war war yes war why why war because an austrian has been killed by a serb in bosnia and that means war sir yes mel travis why does an austrian being killed by a serb in bosnia mean war sir because of russia ah why because russia supports serbia and austria supports bosnia and so on i support arsenal shut up blankenshop so an austrian has been killed by a serbian in bosnia which means austria might invade serbia and then russia will invade austria correct any questions yes sir what is it mel travers how does this involve britain sir well now travis who would you say is your best friend oh a blink and soft sir he's a spiffing fellow and if i were to punch blankenstop in the nose what do you think he would do well nobody punches blinking sob and gets away with it thanks old bean exactly exactly so if russia threatens austria austria's best friend will offer support and who is austria's best friend not blinkensop no germany germany is austria's best friend mao travels austria and germany is sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g yes sir if russia were to attack austria germany would attack russia but that would leave germany undefended on the other side so if germany were to attack russia she would also have to attack france france yes france and if germany were to attack france it would leave belgium threatened and belgium is our friend so we would hop in there to defend them so we've all got to go and fight in a war because of that sir yes smell travelers well i might get killed sir yes you might melt traverse but it would all be for a good cause so where is bosnia again frightful first world war some women did their bit for the war effort by working in munitions factories making things like grenades ammunition and bombs working in a munitions factory can be really hard work so when i go out at the end of the day i like to look my best that's why i always steal some deadly high explosive from the production line and use it to dye my hair a little tnt can really liven up your locks transforming you from a brunette to a blonde i never knew i could look this good here's a sciency bit tnt is the abbreviated name for the chemical compound trinitrotoluene it's used in bombs to blow things to kingdom come it'll bleach your hair but it can turn your skin yellow too now i'm blonde all over thanks tnt hey i'm a real blonde bombshell even though many women genuinely use tnt to bleach their hair during the war putting high explosive on your head is ill-advised and could well result in death dodgy war inventions number 16 the first world wars zeppelin airship zeppelins were basically massive gas balloons with engines designed by the germans to drop bombs on british cities they were brilliant because their enormous size meant they could carry loads of bombs but there was one small problem their enormous size also meant they were almost impossible to miss oh does anybody have some chewing gum and a bicycle pump [Music] the
